Date & Time

zayidu — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 17:29:05 GMT

Hi experts,

I need to Print the current date and time in this format:

DD-MMM-YYYY -- HH:MM

DD = day

MMM = three character month abbreviation

YYYY = four digit year

HH = hour

MM = minute

Which print technology? Word, Excel, PDF, ink printing?

You could use function module MONTH_NAMES_GET to decode the 2-digit month to 3-character month and just concatenate the date/time string together.

Or you could go crazy and do something like this:

DATA: BEGIN OF o_date,
        dd     TYPE numc2,
        dash1 TYPE char01 VALUE '-',
        mon    TYPE char03,
        dash2 TYPE char01 VALUE '-',
        year   TYPE char04,
        fill01 TYPE char02 VALUE ' -',
        fill02 type char02 value '- ',
        hh     TYPE char02,
        colon TYPE char01 VALUE ':',
        mm     TYPE char02,
      END OF o_date.

DATA: BEGIN OF my_datum,
        year TYPE char04,
        mm   TYPE char02,
        dd   TYPE char02,
      END OF my_datum.

DATA: BEGIN OF my_timlo,
        hh TYPE char02,
        mm TYPE char02,
        ss TYPE char02,
      END OF my_timlo.

MOVE:               sy-datum   TO my_datum,
                    sy-timlo   TO my_timlo.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING: my_datum   TO o_date,
                    my_timlo   to o_date.

SELECT SINGLE ktx FROM t247
INTO o_date-mon
WHERE mnr = my_datum-mm.

WRITE: / o_date.

Texts are based on SAPscript technology, so you may use Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK - BC Style and Form Maintenance - SAP Library

cl_abap_datfm and cl_abap_timfm will help with the rest of the formatting. Then use the MONTH_NAMES_GET and replace the month portion.

Use below function module .

CONVERSION_EXIT_SDATE_OUTPUT

Input is sy-datum present date '20160920'.

Save it in String.

Next get Hours and minutes from sy-uzeit Then concatenate into the Sams string.

then display it into the Text of the Smart form
